They were left devastated by her sudden death, which came without warning.

The family, of Walker, Newcastle, remain angry that medics at Newcastle General Hospital sent Lisa home with a packet of painkillers after diagnosing a viral infection, after they took her to casualty just two days before she died. They still believe if Lisa had been given a chest X-ray and blood tests her pneumonia could have been diagnosed and treated before it took over her body and caused her organs to fail.

Lisa was obsessed with Newcastle United and rarely missed a home game, also following the Magpies on their away trips across the country.

And it was while travelling back from the Wigan game with Robbie on Boxing Day, that Lisa began to experience breathing difficulties.

Robbie and Lisa met on a night out in Newcastle’s Bigg Market, 10 years ago.

And in January last year Robbie asked his girlfriend to marry him. But the Newcastle-obsessed mum-of-one said she would only get married when they had saved up enough money to tie the knot at St James’s Park.

“We just clicked straight away,” said Robbie. “She was so down-to-earth. She was a real tomboy.

“I used to have to tell her to shut up at the match. She was louder than most of the blokes.”

Lisa died in Newcastle General Hospital on December 29.

She was laid to rest at Newcastle’s West Road Crematorium last month in a Newcastle United coffin. She was wearing black and white shirt with the name of her favourite player, Steven Taylor, on the back.
